"Fusu, the cement road you mentioned is really easy to use. In the past, it would have taken at least half a day to get to the Weishui River, but now it actually doesn’t take half an hour."

"And this journey is fast and stable, much more comfortable than Chidao."

Ying Zheng leaned back on the Taishi chair with a leisurely expression, enjoying the warm sunshine and spring breeze. He felt refreshed and very comfortable.

As the first emperor, Ying Zheng naturally knew the benefits of convenient transportation. In addition to being able to travel quickly In addition to inspecting various places, it can also promote commercial and trade exchanges, and can also increase the court's control over various places.

In the past, even if Xianyang City was unbearably hot in the summer, Ying Zheng rarely went out of Xianyang to escape the heat because the transportation was too inconvenient.

Nowadays, the transportation is so convenient that it only takes a day to get from Xianyang City to Hanzhong. Wouldn’t it be very comfortable to move to the Wei River to enjoy the coolness in the summer?

And according to Fusu, when Ying Zheng comes, not only will he not be Da Qin brings a burden, and it can also drive traffic to the surrounding summer resorts, which is beneficial.

A vacation can bring fame and fortune, which is definitely a novel achievement for Ying Zheng.

"Although cement highways are easy to use, land routes are still subject to terrain restrictions. Waterways and sea routes are the real transportation tools."

Fusu took a sip of wine and said

"Well, it is true that the transportation volume of the Weishui River in front of you is more than the sum of several Chidao. It's just that Fusu's proposal to open the sea has caused a lot of waves!"

Ying Zheng took out the telescope he carried with him and observed the endless flow of boats on the Wei River in the distance while feeling.

"This group of people are all short-sighted. They are just saying that the grapes are sour when they cannot eat them. They are afraid that their interests will be damaged after the sea is opened."

"Just when the Grand Canal was first proposed, weren't there a lot of objections?"

"This move to open the sea and the Grand Canal are complementary to each other. The purpose is to connect the inland areas of Guanzhong to the ocean through the Grand Canal and bring together the surrounding counties and counties."

"My father is now very familiar with the world map, and he must also know that the ocean is several times larger than the land!"

‘And there are no mountains blocking the boundless sea. As long as you can find a sea route, you can reach any continent by sea.’

‘For example, Seleucus, who is currently on the road to ask for help from my country, the Qin Dynasty, if he takes the land route, there will be dozens of large and small countries in between, and the geographical conditions are also different, and it will take several months to travel.’

"If you take the sea route, there will be no obstacles at all. You only need to go from port to port."

"If Da Qin wants to conquer this place in the future and achieve long-term and stable rule, it will have to be through this sea route! Fusu analyzed with a smile.

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Ever since Fusu took out the world map and proposed the grand vision of an empire on which the sun never sets, the entire Great Qin Empire has been working towards this goal.

And Ying Zheng has been thinking about how to maintain long-term peace and stability after conquering such a vast territory.

The land route will definitely not work. If he can really reach the far west, he may not be able to reach it by land in a year or two. This will not be able to reach

Xianyang City in a year or two. Control is definitely disadvantageous.

On the contrary, taking the sea route may seem like a longer distance, but due to the convenience of sea transportation, it can reach the destination faster. Moreover, the huge carrying capacity of sea ships also makes it more convenient to project troops..

For example, the five-tooth giant ship that is about to be launched. According to Fusu, it can carry 800 fully armed soldiers at one time. A fleet of 20 five-tooth giant ships, plus other ships, can carry tens of thousands of soldiers.

Again Coupled with the large armaments such as catapults and crossbows on the giant ships, a fleet is enough to pose a fatal threat to a medium-sized country.

Moreover, the size of the sea makes it impossible for the enemy to guess where the Great Qin fleet will land.

Use There is nothing better than coming to conquer a foreign land.

The same reason applies to maintaining rule after conquering the Far West in the future.

And this is what Ying Zheng values most.

"This world is far bigger than the sages imagined!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Only after he truly understands this world can he lament the insignificance of manpower. If it weren't for Fusu, the entire Da Qin would still be misled into the concept of small Jiuzhou, and would not know that Da Qin is actually no more than the world. It's just a corner of the world.

And if you want to realize the ambition of an empire on which the sun never sets, there is no historical experience to refer to. Every step you take is creating history.

Fortunately, Da Qin has Fusu, who has a vision like an immortal god. It ensured that Daqin was always on the right path.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are so happy!"

Nei Shiteng walked in with a happy face and shouted loudly.

"What could possibly excite you like this?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty, you see, this time, His Highness the Crown Prince summoned all nations to come to court. Not only did he strengthen the power of Qin, but these countries also brought generous gifts!"

Nei Shiteng handed over a thick stack of gift cards with excitement on his face.

Ying Zheng also became interested immediately.

You know, the Great Qin treasury is no longer in the embarrassing situation it was before.

Although there is still not much left, but Mainly because there are so many construction projects started at the same time.

Last month’s tax revenue was five times that of the same period last year!

The skyrocketing speed stunned everyone.

And this speed of growth is not only There is no stagnation, and it is even accelerating slightly.

This makes Nei Shiteng, the history of the Great Qin Dynasty and the manager of the treasury, also well-informed.

Now that Nei Shiteng is so excited, this gift list is definitely unexpected!

This made Ying Zheng couldn't help but look forward to it.

You know, although most people fully support this event, there are still some people who are chirping over there, saying that it is a useless move that wastes people and money.

Now If it can also have a generous income, once it is announced, it will immediately make this group of people speechless.

And the increase in income means that Daqin can start a few more large-scale projects.

You know, these are all It is a project that will benefit the present and will benefit the future!

Once completed, it will directly change the surrounding local landforms and economy like Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal.

The reason why it has not been moved for the time being is simply because of lack of money.

Now, these foreign countries are coming Chao, he was so generous.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt more accomplished.
